I keep reflecting on a blog posting by a woman who admitted backing Trump, not because she thought he could do anything to help her but simply because she wanted to say to hell with everyone and everything else. Whatever had caused her to wind up where she is in life, she’s blaming the rest of us and hoping to take us down into the depths with her. If only she could see how much worse the consequences would be for her, too – or the fact we’d have absolutely no sympathy for her in the toxic aftermath.

I’m not so liberal to bail her out, believe me.
